Maitland Race 2 - Hunter Valley Outdoor Show May 22,23,24
ROLLING IN MUD (2) was an enormous 25.17 winner at Grafton last start. In winning form and can measure up again. MARTINI NIGHTS (4) goes very well at the distance with three wins and a placing from eight starts. Below best last time at Gosford (30.24) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Looks suited here and can measure up. BEAR'S HEAD (8) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his slick 22.40 win at this track over 400m. Must include on winning run two back. MULLY THE MASTER (6) will run well despite no experience on this track.

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Grafton, clocking an excellent 25.17 for the 450m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Backs up after winning by 2.25 lengths at Gunnedah (30.44) beating Swift Bonnie in a Grade 5 on May 13 five days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.

In the money last time at Gunnedah (25.25) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.75 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 527m at Gunnedah. Prefer in something easier.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (22.86) over 400m at this track. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.
